Sigrid Lund (1907-1970) - 1955 Oil, Conversation in the Doorway

1955

A truly masterful early 19th Century copy of the original Italian Renaissance masterpiece, "La Zingarella" by Correggio. The scene shows the Virgin Mary, cradling her son in a forest glade on their journey into Egypt. Several putti gather overhead and a blackbird and white rabbit (symbolising both Mary's virginity and fertility) can be seen at the lower left. This beautiful copy has exquisite form, true to the original, and a masterful delicacy in the folds of the Virgin's clothes. This painting has been dated circa 1820, due to the style of nail and stretcher used to stretch the canvas, as well as stylistic and condition features. In addition, the Madonna’s features lack the saccharine sweetness of High Victoriana and posses a style closer to that of late Georgian painters...
